Table 3.

Average B-factors (in Å²) for different portions of the apo, Zn²⁺−, Cu²⁺−, and Ni²⁺-bound MBD structures.

	Apo-MBD	Zn²⁺-MBD	Cu²⁺-MBD	Ni²⁺-MBD (19)
Overall Structure	62.2	45.1	21.0	28.0
Protein	62.3	44.6	20.6	26.8
α3 Helix^a (Res. 65–78)	87.7	97.8	25.2	32.7
Metals	–	47.6	23.9	19.1
Metal Ligands	–	42.2	18.9	22.0
Water	51.7	60.7	27.1	39.3

The B-factor for the Zn structure is an average following a single round of refinement when the α3 helix was modeled into the structure.
